PHENOMENAL PRECOCITY.

"Oh, George!" cried Mrs. Merry, run
ming to meet her husband at the door,
"Ive something the best to tell you"
"No?" said George; "what is it ?"
"Why, don't you think-the baby can
talk! Yes, sir, actually talk! He's said
ever and ever so many things. Come
right into the nursery and hear him.
George went in.
"Now, baby" said mamma, persuasive
ly, talk some for papa. Say How do
you do, papa
"Goo, goo, goo, goo," says baby.
"Hear him!' says mamma, ecstatically.
"Wasn't that just as plain as plain can
be?"
George says it is and tries to think so,
too.
CHOW say I'm glad to see you, papa"
"Da, da, boo, bee, boo
"Did you ever?" cries mamma "He
can just say everything! Now you pre-
cious little honey bunny boy, say, Are
you well, papa?"
"Boo, ba, de, goo, GOO
"There it is" said mamma odd you
ever know a child Of his age who could
really talk as he does? He can say just
anything he wants to; can't you, you
own dear little darling precious, your

"Hear that? He says, 'Of course l
can,' just as plainly as anybody could say
it. Oh, George, it really worries me to
have him so phenomenally bright. These
very brilliant babies nearly always die
young."-TSd-Bit

TR4IN-ROBBERS FOILED.
Alleged Discovery of a Plot to
Capture a Western
Train.

81. Louis, Feb. 2S.-On Saturday night,
while a short distance out of 81. Louis, the
Conductor and engineer of one of the Kan
sas City trains, received set of orders
which were pulling in their character,
and for which they could not account.
The orders were TO the effect that on the
run TO Kansas City, no stops were 10 be
made on signals, as is customary, at other
than star stations or regular stopping
points. 1t finally leaked out that
the Alton officials had been
notified of plot To stop the
train by signal at some lonely point on
the line and plumber the express and pas
senger cars. The usual number of signals
were displayed on the run, but as no stten-
ton was paid to them. it is not known
whether the attempt was intended for that
.iight or not. The train men state that
there was little booty TO be secured on the
Saturday night run, and it is possible that
the robbers may have ascertained this fact
and abandoned the attempt. There was a
very apparent reticence on the part OF en-
ployes of the company, however, when in
terrogsted on the subject, and there is
very little doubt that the rumor was well
founded, and that there was a plot to
board the train, which was foiled by its
discovery
